How many Lucas do you know?

[BendydickCuminsnatch]

Not Lucas, doesn't work with our surname and ends up sounding like Luca anyway.

I like it but kind of feel you'd need to be Italian to use it (irrational I know), and main concern is that it seems pretty popular? Don't think I've met any at baby groups but I know a friend of a friend has one.

Arrrrrgh, I don't know if it's 'us'. Naming boys is hard :(

Sorry just seen you meant Luca. I know two. One is Italian and one isn't

There are three in DS's year (Y6).

I only know the one.. he's mine, 12 and is half Italian and it suits him to a tee.

There are three in our school (200 children).

Thanks everyone! Blah. I don't think it's our son! DH likes it, and I do too, but I'm not feeling it. Surely that means it's not The One! Think it's a bit too popular too.

Trying to please DH (he is an easy man really), but keep reminding myself that he did come up with DS1's name so maybe I have more sway this time

None.

I know two, ages 5 and 4 both English families. Had no idea it was Italian, I had a English Mr Lucas as a maths teacher so assumed it was an English name 😄

Yes I think Lucas is, the question is about the name Luca though :)

One lucas

A 7yo with one British and one Brazilian parent
And mine

Me and DP had a similar conversation, he really wanted to call DS Luca, but I felt we were too British to pull it off (just my opinion, obvs)
A friend has a 5yo called Luca, but he is half Greek.

We settled on Lucas.

None

1 Luca aged 25 - Italian mother
1 Lucas aged 18 - non Italian & neither parent British

1 who is nearly 4 and does nothing but scream it reminds me of the word mucus though

Yes, Lucas reminds me of mucus too. The thread is about the name Luca though!!

I know one Lucas (3yrs) and I used to work with lots of luka's (polish spelling) they were all adults.

Lots of people call children names from a different country. Don't think anyway would bat an eyelid if you called your child Luca if you weren't Italian.

Just the 1 he is a toddler and isn't Italian as far as i know it is a nice name.

One Luca, love the name for a boy.

2, one is 10 the other 15

I used to know one. He must be about 20 now - his dad is Italian.

I know 4
Lukas - he is about 25
Luca- he is italian/english
2 Lucas - one French and one italian/english
